Prognostic Value of [18F]-FDG PET/CT Radiomics Combined with Sarcopenia Status among Patients with Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancer

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated whether combining clinical parameter, PET and CT radiomics with sarcopenic status, derived from standard of care clinical 18F-FDG-PET/CT improves outcome prognostication among patients with advanced, metastatic esophageal and gastroesophageaal cancer.

18F-FDG PET/CT for Identifying the Potential Primary Diseases and Predicting Prognosis of Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in Children

TL;DR: It is concluded that some 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters can help identify the etiology of sHLH in children and provide directions for further inspection.

Can 18F-FDG PET/CT Radiomics Features Predict Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma?

TL;DR: In a final cohort of 74 patients, it is found that the developed radiomics models can predict these clinical and prognostic outcomes with reasonable accuracy, similar or better than those derived from conventional imaging.

Tumor cell-derived exosomal lncRNA LOC441178 inhibits the tumorigenesis of esophageal carcinoma through suppressing macrophage M2 polarization

TL;DR: The delivery of LOC441178 by EC cell-secreted exosomes inhibited the tumorigenesis of EC by suppressing the polarization of M2 macrophages and may provide a new theoretical basis for discovering new strategies against EC.

Prognostic factors associated with 18FDG-PET/CT in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after trimodality treatment

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors aimed to determine the pathological complete response (pCR), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using post-neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG).

Time Course of Tumor Metabolic Activity During Chemoradiotherapy of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Response to Treatment

TL;DR: Changes in tumor metabolic activity after 14 days of preoperative chemoradiotherapy are significantly correlated with tumor response and patient survival, and suggests that FDG-PET might be used to identify nonresponders early during neoadjuvant cheMoradiotherapy, allowing for early modifications of the treatment protocol.

Prognostic Value of Metabolic Tumor Volume Measured by 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in Patients with Esophageal Carcinoma

TL;DR: MTV, a volumetric parameter of 18F-FDG PET, is an important independent prognostic factor for survival and a better predictor of survival than SUVmax for the primary tumor in patients with esophageal carcinoma.

(18)F-FDG PET-guided salvage neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction: the MUNICON II trial.

TL;DR: Compared with the previous published MUNICON (Metabolic response evalUatioN for Individualisation of neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Esophageal and esophagogastric adeNocarcinoma) I trial, increased histopathologic response was observed after salvage radiochemotherapy, but the primary endpoint of the study to increase the R0 resection rate was not met.

Prognostic significance of SUV on PET/CT in patients with esophageal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The present meta-analysis comprehensively review the evidence for use of standardized uptake value (SUV) measured on tumor to predict prognosis of esophageal cancer to anticipate that SUV could be used in patients with esphageal carcinoma.
